1. Conversation View → Analysis Features
ViewConversation (main)
↓ "Analysis 📊" menu
├── Speaker Analytics (Week 8)
├── Edit History (Week 10)
├── Simulacra Levels (Week 11)
├── Cognitive Biases (Week 12)
└── Implicit Frames (Week 13)
2. Cross-Feature Analysis
Same Conversation ID flows through:
- Simulacra: What level of abstraction?
- Biases: What reasoning errors?
- Frames: What worldviews?
Example Node Analysis:
"Everyone agrees markets solve this"
├── Simulacra: Level 3 (tribal signaling)
├── Biases: Bandwagon effect, confirmation bias
└── Frames: Market fundamentalism, short-term focus

- No cost dashboard UI: Cost tracking implemented in backend, UI pending
- No real-time monitoring: Instrumentation code ready, dashboard pending
- Manual analysis trigger: Users must click "Run Analysis" button
- Automatic analysis: Run on conversation import
- Batch processing: Analyze multiple conversations
- Export functionality: Export analysis results to PDF/CSV
- Comparison views: Compare analyses across conversations
- Temporal analysis: Track how biases/frames evolve over time
- Speaker profiling: Aggregate analyses per speaker
- Cause: Analysis not yet run
- Solution: Click "Run Analysis" button on the analysis page
- Cause: Missing or invalid Anthropic API key
- Solution: Check
ANTHROPIC_API_KEYin.env
- Cause: Migrations not run
- Solution: Run
alembic upgrade head
- Cause: Tests mock anthropic, but import fails
- Solution: Tests include
sys.modules['anthropic'] = MagicMock()- ensure it runs before imports
- Cause: Claude 3.5 Sonnet is premium model
- Solution:
- Use confidence threshold to reduce false positives
- Cache results (already implemented)
- Consider cheaper models for simpler tasks (future)
- Deploy to staging environment
- Run integration tests on real data
- Conduct user acceptance testing
- Fix any discovered bugs
- Implement cost dashboard UI
- Add monitoring/alerting
- Performance profiling and optimization
- Write deployment automation scripts
- Multi-user support with authentication
- Export functionality for analyses
- Temporal trend analysis
- Custom prompt templates per user
- Mobile-responsive improvements
